I was trying to invite a user to a forum topic a second time. The first time i did the invite, i didn’t have the user in the right group. I was thinking that the system was going to throw a error during the invitation, or it was going to track that I invited that user and allow that user to access that topic. Neither happend. The user got a permission error when they tried to accept the invitatioin.

So i created a group, put that user in it, and then tried to invite the user again. This time specifying the group the user was in (“This invite also includes access to these groups”) along with the username. I got the following message:

> Sorry, that user has already been invited. You may only invite a user to a topic once.

How can i solve the problem of getting the user access without recreating the topic?

This maybe related to [this](https://meta.discourse.org/t/ambiguous-error-text-when-inviting-a-user-already-invited/40106/3) closed topic.
